Chapter 465 Heavy Punishment

"Prince... There is a girl named Adai in the Prince's mansion. She gave the Prince an idea!" The madam brought out a tray, not daring to hide a word. "Adai has medicine. As long as the medicine is used to control these girls, they can be obedient. After some training, they can become charming and pitiful... Then, send them to the officials and seduce them with beauty. In this way, we can learn about the trends in the court in time, and we can also hold the officials' handles. When the time is right, we can let the officials do things for the Prince..."

"I heard that if they don't obey, they will be blinded." Chu Qinghuang said coldly, "Why do you want to blind their eyes?"

The fat body of the madam trembled, " This... this..."

"Don't want to say it?" Chu Qinghuang frowned and said coldly, "Pull him over and continue beating him."

"Her Majesty, spare me!" The old procuress screamed in fear and begged for mercy, "I'll tell you! I'll tell you! It's to satisfy the fetishes of some special guests!"

Chu Qinghuang's face darkened: "What fetish?"

"The princes and nobles have some fetishes in private. They like to control the bodies of girls and play a lot of tricks to force them to do things that are difficult to talk about. However, many girls are unwilling to agree to it because of shame. If you blind them, they can't see anything..."

As she finished her words, Chu Qinghuang's eyebrows were covered with frost, and a strong cold and murderous aura gradually emerged in her eyes.

Chu Qinghuang thought of these evil beasts and angrily ordered: "Take them away and beat them!"

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I was forced to do this. Please show me mercy!"

"Show me mercy?" Chu Qinghuang looked at her expressionlessly, "When you attacked those young girls who were not well-versed in the world, did you ever think of showing me mercy?"

"Your Majesty, you deserve to die! You deserve to die!" The madam kowtowed and begged for mercy, "Your Majesty, I am willing to atone for my crime! Please forgive me!"

Not far away, Chu Xuanyi led the imperial guards away Come, approach, bow and say: "Your Majesty."

"Is there any progress?"

"Yes." Chu Xuanyi said, "The Ministry of Justice is cooperating with Lord Pan in the interrogation. Wen Li and Han Yi have confessed most of what they have said. The Prince of Jin is still unwilling to say anything."

"If he is subjected to all the eighteen tortures, he will say everything." Chu Qinghuang said coldly, his eyes fell on the madam, "How do you plan to atone for your crime?"

Hearing Wen Li's name, the madam knew that there was a reason to reduce her guilt.

"Wen Li, the son of Minister Wen, also participated in the plan of the Prince of Jin." She spoke very quickly, as if she was afraid that she would be pulled down and whipped if she spoke a word slowly. "The Prince of Jin wanted to drag the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue into the water, so he took the initiative to approach Master Wen. Master Wen is a playboy and a frequent visitor to Hongyue Tower. He became friends with the Prince of Jin. Many of those girls were schemed by Master Wen! Everything I said is true. I beg Your Majesty to see clearly!"

"Wen Li is a recognized dandy. How did he scheme against those girls?"

"In addition to visiting brothels, Master Wen often goes to casinos. Those girls who were sold by their parents were because their fathers and brothers lost money in gambling in the casino. They lost a lot of money and had their fingers chopped off if they couldn't pay back the money. Master Wen coerced them to sell them. They sold their daughters and sisters, so, so..."

Chu Qinghuang turned to look at Chu Xuanyi: "Starting tomorrow, focus on rectifying the major gambling houses in the imperial city and arrange for the guards to patrol."

"I obey your order."

"Do you have the indentures of those women?"

"In order to make it easier for the Prince of Jin to control them, the indentures have all been handed over to the Prince of Jin." The old procuress said with a trembling voice, "The Prince of Jin bought the girls from the bitch for five hundred taels each..."

"That's really good." Chu Qinghuang was extremely angry, but her tone seemed calm instead, "As Minister Wen said, in broad daylight, there are so many daring people who do such vicious and dirty things under my nose!"

Chu Xuanyi was silent and lowered his eyebrows.

"Since you have shown that you can make up for your crime with merit, I will spare your death penalty. Take her away and put her in the prison of the Ministry of Justice. Starve her for three days."

"Yes."

Chu Qinghuang was still angry and said coldly: "If Chu Tianyin is stubborn, let Pan Yun torture her. I don't believe how tough he is."

Chu Xuanyi hesitated: "But doctors cannot be punished..."

"Chu Tianyin has committed such a heinous crime. Will I still keep his title of prince?" Chu Qinghuang said coldly, "From now on, he has been demoted to a commoner. Beat him however you want, whip, branding iron, clamp, use them all on him!"
